Conduct control procedures for transferring explosives/dangerous/hazardous/high risk goods

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to conduct safety and hazard control procedures for transferring explosives/dangerous/hazardous/high risk goods, in accordance with relevant state/territory regulations.

It includes clarifying movements of explosives, hazardous or high risk goods; implementing safety and hazard control procedures for loading, unloading or goods movement activities; and reviewing and completing goods transfer operations.

Work is performed under general supervision.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment include:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, current ADG Code/AE Code, codes of practice and operation manuals

relevant materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry.
